Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

You were something I lost...

It took me years to aquire you.

It took strength, courage, and perserverance

But I did it!

I refused to give up!

I didn't take no for an answer.

I wore you down, or so we joke.

But now....

I have you!

The most important and most treasured person in my life.

We said I do,

we bought a home,

we started a family.

My life began the moment you said yes.

Our life was everything I hoped it would be and more.

But how could I possibly know that one little mistake could make it all go away?

Could I really lose you?

You are my everything.

You can't forgive me?

We can't move past this?

We HAVE to!

I can't live without you.

I made a mistake, I'm sorry...

I'm sorry I broke you, but can't I fix you?

I can't lose us!

I can't lose you!

I won't lose you, I will fix this...

But can you ever really fix something that was broken?

It will never be the same, there will always be a part that is broken.

Loss of any kind hurts,

but losing THE one is devastating.
